Could a failing Compressed Air Duster cause the DELL LAPTOP XPS 15 KEYBOARD KEYS STUCK to have symptom: General Troubleshooting?

Debris, dust, and skin oils frequently accumulate beneath the low-travel chiclet keys of the XPS 15. This particulate matter obstructs the scissor-switch mechanism's path of travel, preventing the key from returning to its neutral position. A high-pressure air duster is the first-line mechanical solution to clear these obstructions without disassembly.

Could a failing Replacement Individual Keycap and Scissor Hinge cause the DELL LAPTOP XPS 15 KEYBOARD KEYS STUCK to have symptom: General Troubleshooting?

If a key is physically stuck in a 'down' position or feels crunchy, the plastic scissor hinge mechanism may be fractured or misaligned. Replacing the specific keycap and its underlying plastic hinge restores the mechanical spring tension required for the key to pop back up. This is the most surgical fix for single-key failures.

Could a failing Internal Keyboard Palmrest Assembly cause the DELL LAPTOP XPS 15 KEYBOARD KEYS STUCK to have symptom: General Troubleshooting?

For multiple stuck keys or keys that 'rise slowly', the internal rubber dome membrane has likely lost its elasticity or has been contaminated by a liquid spill. Since the XPS 15 keyboard is often integrated/riveted into the top cover, replacing the entire palmrest assembly is the industry-standard method to ensure a complete repair of the tactile switch array.
